Thanks for your reply. You are correct about the flowrate and head loss, I am now at 8.7gpm and 15.5 ft for the entire system and water temps of 126* and 78* based on the ADS calcs.
I have added the S/R tubing into the design and only one manifold is located outside of the boiler room.
I found the wiring and piping schematics in the ADS software and that helps tremendously. I want to make this as simple and reliable as I can. I will probably use the Uponor zone valves and controls but I am interested in the new variable delta T circs from Taco.
I have posted on The Wall - TT not pumping Away? is my thread where I have also posted the pdf of the Warmboard zones.
I realize the input vs output rating, however I am a bit confused about how much to actually figure for derating for altitude with a forced air combustion system. Isn't that the same as putting a turbo on your engine - gets you back to sea level? I am at 6000' and will be using LP for the fuel source. Do these factors necessitate a 110 in your opinion? Have you installed any of these boilers at comparable elevations?
Thanks!
